“Sayal” Hanging Lamp on display at Holicow showroom in Cebu City, Philippines
‘Sayal’ Hanging Lamp
Inspired by foliose corals that are abundant in the marine sanctuaries in Dumaguete, Philippines, the ‘Sayal’ Hanging Lamp dances like the waves of the ocean.
From a production standpoint, the lamp is interesting because it packs relatively flat yet looks large. All the buri sticks are straight, which reduces stress and breakage of sticks during production, yet the lamp looks sculptural. At certain desired angles, the bulb is diffused using minimal material. Basically, the lamp makes a large impact despite being reduced to a simple design.
Designed for Hacienda Crafts.
The design process involved experimenting with paper models, photocopying iterations, and playing with scale. Measurements were derived from the models, and new paper models were created using CAD. This process was repeated until satisfactory shapes and measurements were determined.
